Examining Whether Exercise Preference and Tolerance Moderate the Within-Subject Association Between Physical Activity Intention and Next-Day Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity.

Background: Physical activity (PA) intentions may predict future PA engagement, such that when intentions for PA are strong, an individual may be more likely to engage in PA compared with when intentions for PA are weak. However, intentions do not always translate into behavior, a phenomenon known as the intention-behavior gap. Individual differences in exercise preference (predisposition for high-intensity exercise) and tolerance (ability to continue exercising at higher intensity) may explain this gap.

Alcohol and Cannabis Use Associated with Cardiometabolic Biomarkers among "All of Us" Cancer Survivors.

Background: Cancer survivors are at increased risk for cardiometabolic comorbidities following cancer treatment, which may be further exacerbated by cannabis and alcohol use. We aimed to examine the direct relationships of cannabis, alcohol, and the co-use of both substances with cardiometabolic risk factors and to explore disparities by race/ethnicity and sex.

Methods: Cross-sectional data were extracted from adult cancer survivors in the "All of Us" from 2018 to 2022.

Long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on children's physical activity and sedentary behavior.

Background: During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, decreases in physical activity (PA) and increases in sedentary behavior (SB) were reported among children in the United States (U.S.).

Morning Serum Cortisol Is Uniquely Associated with Cardiometabolic Risk Independent of Body Composition in Latino Adolescents.

Alterations in morning serum cortisol (MSC) have been associated with higher cardiometabolic risk. This finding has been documented primarily in populations with overweight or obesity; however, it has not been clearly established if obesity plays a requisite role in this relationship. This study seeks to extend earlier findings by examining whether body composition measures alter the relationship between MSC with glucose and insulin markers, blood pressure, and lipid parameters in Latino youth in middle adolescence.
